A leading manufacturer of high speed rotating machines, asked Advanced Design Technology to carry out the complete aerodynamic design of a brand new centrifugal chiller compressor stage using the inverse design approach available through the TURBOdesign Suite software.

Performance targets (Pressure Ratios and Efficiencies) and operating points were set by the customer before the start of the project. Tight requirements on off-design and mechanical performance and the overall size of the stage were also set by the customer.
